Emily Eavis confirms Glastonbury 2027 headliners, rules out Madonna and Oasis
Emily Eavis announced the 2027 Glastonbury headliners, dismissing rumours about Madonna and Oasis while speculation continues around Taylor Swift and Harry Styles.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Glastonbury Festival organiser Emily Eavis told BBC Radio 4’s PM programme on 14 August that the 2027 headliners have been confirmed and tickets will go on sale in October, according to the Independent.
What happened
Eavis said three acts have been secured as headliners for the June 23‑27, 2027 festival at Worthy Farm, Somerset. She explicitly ruled out Madonna, saying “It’s definitely not Madonna, I’ll tell you that.” Oasis was also confirmed as not part of the lineup.
What the reports add
The Independent notes that rumours persist about other possible headliners. It cites a May report that Taylor Swift was “almost nailed on” for the Pyramid Stage, though Eavis declined to comment when the topic was raised by BBC Radio 4’s Katie Razzall. An insider quoted by The Sun in 2024 claimed Eavis has long wanted Harry Styles, but scheduling conflicts have prevented his booking. Irish rock band Fontaines DC are also mentioned as potential headliners, linked to their upcoming album release and summer tour dates.
What was said
Emily Eavis told BBC Radio 4’s PM programme, “It’s definitely not Madonna, I’ll tell you that… but we have got three [other] headliners and we're very excited about it – it's all coming together really well.” The Independent reports that Eavis laughed off further questions about Swift’s involvement.
How it came about
The announcement follows a series of ticket‑sale updates from Felo News, including the coach‑ticket launch on 1 October (Glastonbury 2027 tickets sale) and the general‑admission sale set for 4 October.
